MASONIC DEMONSTRATION.

~ 10 hoN uSIiuitOiy NhiobSSo eh"o
grand Masonic demonstration
shall be held in London in CONNIE
moration of Her Majesty's Jubilee.
According TO circular issued to
the masters of lodges by the Pro-
Grand Master, the Earl of Carnar-
Won, there will be great represent
alive meeting of English Freemasons
in the Albert Hall, South Kensing-
ton, when the Grand Master, His
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,
will preside, and an address of con-
graduation to Her Majesty will be
agreed to. In consequence of the
space of the Albert Hall being in
adequate for the accommodation of
all the Masons who are DESTROYS of
being present to witness the impos-
ing spectacle, the promoters of the
gathering have found it necessary
to limit the number of tickets TO
five for each of the 1000 odd lodges
in the United Kingdom, and much
regret has been expressed that
larger building, such as Olympia,
could not have been secured. Ar
engagements. however, are in course
of being carried out for great
many minor festivities among Free
masons in connection. with the Jubi-
lee celebration, which in a measure
tend to allay any feeling of disap-
pointment on the part of those who
are unable to obtain admission to
the Albert Hall demonstration. The
Earl of Carnarvon reports that he
has received over thousand letters
from various parts of the country
in which contributions are promised
by Masonic Lodges and others to
the fund of the Imperial Institute.
The exact date for the monster
Masonic gathering, which bids fair
to eclipse that which took place at
the Albert Hall when the Prince of
Wales was installed Most Worship
full Grand Master in 1875, is not yet
fixed, but it will be during the week
commencing on June 18th next.
Several members of the Bar have
recently sent in applications to the
Lord Chancellor for the honor of
being recommended to the Queen
for appointment to the rank of Her
Majesty's Counsel, and we under
stand that it is very probable that a
considerable number of barristers
will be so appointed this year in
honor of Her Majesty's Jubilee

Chan ging the System.

The Republicans of Mercer county
took action at their recent County
Convention towards changing the
system of nominating Congressman.
The Chairman of their County Com
mittee has appointed John j. Spear
man. w. H. Findley and Archy
Crawford, Esqs., committee to meet
and confer with similar committees
from Butler. Beaver and Lawrence
counties, composing the new Con-
gressional district, to arrange as to q
new system for nom mating candi-
dates for Congress,
We are plea sed to see this action
and no doubt the Chairman of our
County Committee will in due time
respond. The system should be
changed. The only question is, how.
We have always favored the popular
Uote for districts as well as for coun-
ties, and yet are inclined to that mode.
The matter should be attended to
soon, before the next primaries are
called or held in the different coun-
ties, so that the change may be in
time for the next nomination.

COMMUNICATIONS.
Weddjnp Anniversary.

EDS CITIZEN.-There was very
enjoyable gathering at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs John B. Stephenson,
of Franklin twp, on the 4th of July.
1t being the 22nd anniversary of
their marriage. The day was pleas
ant, although warm; early in the day
the friends and neighbors to the num-
Der of about 100, gathered at their
residence and took entire possession
of the premises-and the beauty of it
was that they came with we'll filled
baskets
The tables were set in the large
barn floor-and such a layout-it
made ones mouth water to take look
at the spread 1t was immense.
Everybody present enjoyed them
selves.
The only mar to the pleasure of
the day (if we may call it such) was
the fact that on gathering around the
table there was one absent. A com.
mittee was appointed to make search
for him, and 10, and behold he was
found at the sprlng-house. IL Is neeu-
less to say that there was a goodly
supply of provisions there too. After
dinner was served and all had partak-
en-, the meeting was called to order
by electing Nathan F. McCandless,
Esq. to the chair.
Then on behalf of the donors Esq
Dunn presented Mrs. Stephenson
with we'll filled purse together with
a number of useful and valuable pres
ents as tokens of their esteem.
John Stephenson. Esq, father of
the host, responded in neat little
speech, giving brief history of the
Stephenson family, and short ad'
dresses were made by others pres
ent.
As evening drew near all departed
for their homes we'll pleased at hav-
ing spent such pleasant day.

To Be Paid Or Not?

A singular question has arisen as
TO whether the taxes assessed on
watches, carriages and household
furniture, for last year, under the
law Of 1885. are now to be paid
or not. The Legislature of this year.
in May last, repealed that part of the
act Of 1885, which placed tax upon
household furniture, watches and
carriages. So it was generally con-
sidered that the taxes assessed on
those items of personal property for
the year 1886 could not be collected.
inasmuch as the law imposing them
had been repealed. And when the
question was brought up and referred
to the Attorney General of the State
he gave it ss his opinion that the law
itself being repealed the said taxes
could not be collected where not
already paid. Where they had been
already paid there was no provision
made for refunding them. But in
Allegheny county, and perhaps others,
the Commissioners were ordering
them to be refunded where paid, and
not to be collected where not paid.
And thus the matter stood until the
question was brought before what is
termed the State Board of Revenue
Commissioners. This body decided
that said taxes should be paid, for the
year 1886. inasmuch as the taxes
were levied and assessed before the
repeal of the law last winter. These
conflicting decisions are making irou.
bic for Collectors and County Com
missioners. And the question now
is, whether the Attorney General,
the law officer Of the State, or The
Board Of Revenue Commissioners is
the higher authority in the matter of
interpreting said tax laws. One sa) g
the taxes of 1886 assessed On furni-
ture, carriages and watches, need not
be paid. The other says they must
b paid. 1t certainly should be
speedily settled as to which dep.vt-
ment of the State Government has lie
right to decide the question CvIlec
tors are embarrassed as to W hat course
to pursue in the matter, as well az
are County Commissioners. Some.
thing authentic should therefore be
made known at once,

Serious Accident.

On July Cd inst, as Mr.. Henry
Jamison, of Allegheny township, this
county, with his sou-in-law, Mr.. Ed
ward Thomas, were driving in two
horse buggy from Parker to Six Points,
the bit of the bride of one of their
horses became broken, the effect of
which was turning the horses to one
side of the road There happened to
be deep gully at the point, into
which the buggy went and young
Thomas was fortunately thrown out,
leavin e Mr.. Jamison in, without The
reins in his hands and without any
control over the horses. They i'm
mediately ran off, for distance of
near quarter of mile, when at sud-
den turn in the road near Six Points,
Mr.. Jamison was violently thrown
out, one of his legs broken, one of his
shoulders badly dislocated and other
wise injured. Being about 10 years
of age, the injuries are serious to
Mr.. Jamison, but being healthy,
strong man, we learn his friends hope
for his early recovery. Mr.. Jamison
is one of the best citizens of the county
and we are sorry to learn of this ac-
cident to him. Mr.. Thomas also re-
ceived some injury when thrown out,
but not OF a serious character:
If President Cleveland had been
invited by the Grand Army men only
to attend the St Louis Reunion, and
if tt en- it had become known to him
that his presence there would not be
welcome to even a portion of said
men, in that case we could justify his
recent letter declining to attend, on
personal grounds. But the citizens
of St. Louis, through their Mayor
also invited him, as President Of
The United States, to visit their city
upon that occasion, and it seems to US,
that as President he should not have
noticed or been deferred from going
by any threats or Insults from any
quarter. The President of the Unit.
ed States ought to be free to visit any
part of it at any and all times and the
people would see to his personal safe
ty, The dignity of his Office should
and would protect him from insult
and to decline to go to any particular
point or place, under such circum-
stances, looks more like want Of per-
sonal courage than anything else.
The time has not come yet we hope
when the President of the Matt on is
fearful to visit any assemblage of any
of its citizens.

| The deceased was younger brother of VIM.

wife and four children who keeny feel the
| loss sustained of husband and father. To
his aged and greatly enfeebled mother who
for several years has had her home with Rob.
ert. his death is very sore bereavement.
During her more than four score years she
has been frequently called to endure great
and sore trials. But relying on the all-suffi-
! cient grace promised by her Saviour she has
been marvelously sustained amidst them all
May that grace be sufficient for her under
this last heavy stroke that has fallen upon
| her. To her Robert was a most dutiful son,
ever ready to minister to her comfort, and to
soothe her in her sufferings.
As husband he was kind and affection ate;
as father, loying and ever solicitous for the
welfare of his children.
His sudden death has east gloom over the
entire neighborhood in which he lived. He
was an excellent friend and neighbor, and
highly esteemed by all who knew him.
And better than all, he was an humble
Christian, His piety was unostentatious,
but sincere and real. He was for sixteen
years consistent member of the Presbyter-
ian Church of Middlesex; and for the last
ten of his life he served as a ruling elder in
that church. Although modest and unobtru-
sive in his judicial conduct, he was wise and
judicious. In him, his brethren of the elder
ship with whom he served, placed entire con-
fidence.
The very large concourse of people assem-
bled at his funeral attested the high esteem
in which he was held by his fellow-men. o.

A SWISS LAND SLIP.
Carries a Portion of a Town Into
a Lake.

LONDON. July THE first ad-
vices received from Zurich of the ter
rible disaster at Lake Zugersee, in the
Canton of Zug, were very meagre, but
dispatch received here tonight gives
a detailed account of the catastrophe e
at the little Swiss village On the
afternoon of the 5th inst, at about
O'Clock, the first land slip occurred,
and the house, situated upon the new
quay, near the railway station, was
precipitated into the lake, carrying
with it the greater part of the wharf
There was not the slightest warning
OF the impending land slide, but it
happened that most of the occupants
of the houses were away from home.
WILD PANIC.
The citizens Immediately organiz-
ed, and precautions were taken to pre-
vent, if possible, repetition of the
disaster. They were, however, with.
out success. Three hours later an
other land slip occurred, larger than
the first, and this time six houses, with
most of their occupants, were submer-
ged in the lake. Shortly before mid
night, as the affrighted villagers were
retiring to rest, the third and most
disastrous land slide took place.
Five more houses were carried down
into the lake by the crumbling away
of the hillside. Among the buildings
carried away by the last slide was the
Hotel de Zurich, one of the largest in
the town. At the time it was crowd
ed with strangers. Many were Sleep
ing and never awoke. The last land
slide completely terrorized the town,
and the quarter overlooking the lake,
was Immediately deserted and cor
don of soldiers was placed to prevent
the people from returning to their
homes. In the morning four more
houses fell. 1t is impossible to de
scribe the panic which prevailed.
The number of victims is estimated at
over 100, and the number is likely to
be increased rather than decreased by
later advices.
TOURISTS SCARED.
The calamity that has overtaken the
little town of Zug, which will be re-
membered by tourists who have made
the journey to the Rigi from Zurich,
will perhaps cause great number of
Anglo Americans to hesitate about
making their annual pilgrimage to the
"fair Helvetian Mountains" Re.
membering the fright given to them
by the earthquake shocks on the
Riviera so recently, they will doubt
less begin to fear that the seismic
6end is about to commence operations
in earnest in Switzerland On this
point, however, they did not fear. for
a study of the facts as cabfed with a
little ancient history thrown in shows
that we have to do with landslide
and landslide which had predeces.
sor in the very same spot over 45O
years ago, so long ago, indeed, that
the authorities seem to have forgotten
all about its lessons.
